I know

I do, and that's GOOD.

Okay, caught up enough for the moment, I think.

Catnik, do you have a recommended pattern for a gwazi (sp?)

gwahzee coat?

Yes.

how HA do you want?

I don't know. I have some fabric that I think would be great for it, but...it's not really my period/culture.

gotcha

ok

so

ghwazee coats are popular and cute, but most tend to be post period

but your household has elves, so hey

Exactly. A couple of us wear ghwazees.

Mind, I'm the token human, but... shrug

relatively simple, cute

Excellent. Thank you!!!

np

AFK a mo.

fwiw, the "real thing" is mor elike this:

So not the super-low neckline I usually see.

yeah

those are laaaaaaaaaaate

developed as dance costumes, vs "real" clothing

I might need to pick your brain about fabric. I have a bunch of fabric hand-me-downs I just got (I'm such a sucker), but not much clue what to do with them. I haven't sewn anything in a while.

Hmm. Think we lost Shady.

Like, I know I should do an Italian Ren at some point, and I have the duct-tape bodice done, but I'm not sure which fabric to use.

Might send you some photos of some stuff.

ok!

I want to do an italian

they're so pretty

plus poofy fleeves

and hair taping

I kind of really don't like the fussiness of it -- gimme a tunic-and-trews! -- but sometimes at fancy events ya gotta dress fancy.

oh yeah

I kind of want to do a BIG DUMB HAT 15th century

esp if I keep doing the theatre history thing, because that's peak miracle play era

Yeah, before everybody got kicked out of the cathedrals for the holiday shows and they had to take it to the pageant wagons.

wellllllllll

15th is outdoors, lay, vernacular

My timing might be off.

…I ate the fried chicken

It DESERVED it, Rae!

the transition from indoor, latin, clergy to outdoor, lay, vernacular is messy and ill-documented

yay! 🐔

liturgical drama itself is fairly well documented. the church kept good records.

Shower now then will peep in a bit longer

Okay
